"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." (Luke 10:27)

Welcome to Emmanuel Lutheran Church!

Whether you are attending a Sunday worship service, the intergenerational Christmas Pageant, or special contemplative services, you will immediately feel welcomed and embraced by the Emmanuel community.

Here you will find a vibrant community of parishioners from Bakersfield and surrounding towns spanning the generations, and a variety of ethnic, religious, and social backgrounds.

We strive to live Jesus’ call to serve God by serving others. We are curious learners, and welcome new perspectives as we pursue our faith journeys together.
